I tried it today with full rechargable battery and it does not lasts 1.5 hours on 650 lumens or 2h on 500 lumens like they claim to last, I noticed after couple of minutes it dims down does not satay brigjt enough. I dont know if I might be doing something wrong? But still for price I will keep it...
@aldon78 I use aa in mine. I like the recharge option. However, for my using it at work, it's more of a Hassel to recharge it. Especially when the company will buy the AA batteries, I'd rather just run em and have fresh ones in the van
@@MainelyEverything Agree, specially if they buy the batteries. Is so cheap I will probably buy another one to have 2 batteries, or find out how much the rechargable battery cost. Is a must have specially in Miami with tje hurricanes.
Just bought it today and love it! Paid 18.00 with tax at HD. I was looking at the Coast 1200 lumens but whe I fund out it is only on turbo and for 30 seconds I chose this one instead. Why have 1200 lumens but only 20 seconds??? that sucks.
Love it. But batteries go quick on both powers lol. So buy 2. And the mag husky charge last a good time. Love both. 17 dollars Black Friday. Lol. And $26 for mag light. Love it like it or leave it
On the back side of the PACK it is PERFORATED, if you bend the pack in half, the plastic will crack and make it easier to open. OTHERWISE this sucker is tough to get into.
I work part time at home dept. This headlamp caught my eye when they first came in. I was intrigued by a rechargeable head lamp for$16. As soon as I discovered that it was a multi mode button, meaning you have to push the button several times and cycle thru all the modes to turn it on and off I put it back on the display. That's a deal breaker for me. It's disappointing that manufacturers haven't caught on yet that we want simple. On and off. I have the milwaukee 400 lumen head lamp, they did a good job with it, one power button and a separate mode button. But it's not rechargeable.
Those things are great,especially when you have to turn the power off and work in the dark with both hands or at night outside.
Absolutely the broad range is awesome for walking too! Also like that it has a rechargeable battery that you can use and replace with aaa batteries

Unsure if they did that test with double aa batteries?
@@MainelyEverything I was thinking the same thing lol, will try it with AAs.

Thanks for the video, I use YT for everything without instructions (even a flashlight). Can you tell me where you got the cutter thing to open it???
The knife? It's a spydero Tenacious with s35 VN steel. They make other steel versions as well I got it on amazon.
@@MainelyEverything Thank you!

what about dimming it down a bit to conserve battery charge?

What’s the red lights for? Walking? Or if you’re on a bike or something?
if you want low light. doesn't affect eyes as much and keeps you able to see in the dark better once light is off.
How many people are injured opening these hard plastic packages
I don't know probably a lot. I don't understand it though I really don't.

You don't have to cycle too much. But see where you're coming from definitely.
Any spare batteries i can get for this?
Yes it runs on AAA/the rechargeable battery. Runs longer on AAA it seems
Hey i got one a couple of days too!!
Pretty Nice!
@@MainelyEverything I'm thinking to get 2 more. ..
@@jesterraj haha they are pretty handy. The broad range is sweet!
